"Don't bogart that joint my friend send it over to me"...Merle Haggard. Good Player but a moron. They advise days ahead as to when they are going to conduct the test. Duh!..I guess the young man just couldn't resist the happy smoke which classifies him as a real stoner.

Whether you agree or disagree with the rules -- it is still against the rules. Players are being paid millions to stay within the rules. Von Miller is a well paid professional. He knows better amd to do this sort of stunt can put his career into the ditch. Fail!

Paging Beal, Jackson, maybe Smith, time to see what you guys got, you might get in some games early in the year, now that's motivation.Every team has to deal with some sort of adversity, the Broncos will be fine which ever way the ball bounces.

Funny everyone saying it's was impossible to only win 11 games this year, today it looks possible.

It looks like they will just have to score a lot of points in those first four games. It is a shame that Von couldn't abstain from using while in the NFL, hopefully he will change his ways. The Broncos still have a decent defense without Von for four games, the first four are probably the better quarter of the season to be without Von.

It's not on John Elway, it's on the offenders themselves. John Elway isn't their babysitter. They're grown men, if they can't be accountable for their own actions, don't think others are responsible for their lack of good decision making. Short of them being handcuffed to John Elway 24-7, how is Mr. Elway responsible for their lack of responsibility?

John Elway is actually pulling out all the stops on building a championship team here in Denver. I'm a Jets fan. wish we had someone so dedicated and determined as John Elway!

John Elway actually took a 100 million dollar gamble on a old injured Quarterback that has not paid off yet and looks like it's starting to slowly unravel.

Atheist what is your endgame, what do you hope to accomplish with all of this perceived negative comments? Right now I don't believe in you.

Hey Future I do know one thing the Elway spin Doctors better shift it into 4th gear. LOL.

Training camp starts this week and hopefully most of the off the field drama will stop.

But WHat I find interesting are how the HATERS are coming out by the bunches, read the comments at the bottom of this articles funny:

I'm surprised but not shocked....Peyton Manning can still run the offense. He's way beyond this affecting his leadership ability. But it has to irritate him. He's a stellar type of person. How this suspension will hurt the Broncos is the question. Will four games stick? The Broncos can't afford to start slow like they did last year. Too many tough games on schedule. The division has improved.

What's the deal with the Bronco's partying like it is 1999 these days? I thought they were all lifting weights, putting on mini camps, and going to church? Mr. Bowlen has been a more then a patient owner, and would be well within his rights to chop some heads off and make some examples of a few guys. Coach Fox is a "Players Coach" supposedly, but we've all seen how fast the door can shut on your rear on the way out the door around here, players, coaches, and execs.

If he was smokin some bud, the I could care less. Anyone with a brain knows MJ is much less harmless than any other drug out there except for maybe caffein. Putting football players on pedestals and expecting them to be perfect angels who represent some sort of fantasy hero status is simply ridiculous. They're freakin football players. Nothing more, and nothing less. Sure we should admire their skills and athleticism, but should we really be telling our children to look up to them as models on how to live? I think not. Thats why I could care less if professional athletes smoke a little bud or get popped in a bar for drinking to much and getting in a scuffle. Quite frankly sports needs the days of Joe Namaths and Mickey Mantel to come back when character, even a little flawed character added spice to sports.

I certainly hope you're not a Bronco fan.....

Unfortunately, the first poster is correct. It hasn't looked good for Denver recently. The executive DUI's was a huge embarrassment. Most of the time it's a few players messing up, not execs.

If this is indeed true, Miller just screwed himself out of millions during his next contract negotiation. Very dumb of him. Just another reminder that no matter how much the media props someone up, you're only seeing the media persona, not the real person.

Elway needs to get his ship in order. If the Broncos don't at least make the Super Bowl during the Manning tenure, then the experiment was a failure.

Oh here we go........making a team out to be sooooo much worse than the rest!!!! I remember this back when the Bronco's won back to back Superbowl's with the same Elway leading the charge behind Mike Shanahan and the critics attacked Shanahan! What about the Patriots, Bengals, Ravens or any other team in the league? Oh no......the guy smoked pot! Ban the team forever! They are the devil! If you don't think this kind of stuff goes on at your work place or anywhere else in the World.....think again! Sadly enough....this is Life! At least the guy didn't go murder someone! Pretty sure the Pats boards aren't as lit up as the Bronco's are today so what gives???

I guess the Pats should fire their coach Belicek and owner Kraft and the 'boys should fire their coach Garrett and owner Jones because of Josh Brent. I guess the Ravens should forfeit their trophy because of Ray Lewis who shouldn't have been allowed back in the league!

The real problem here is Roger Goodell and his zero tolerance policy which doesn't improve the image of the league but rather tarnishes it as it gives the media every reason to publish every time a player gets a speeding ticket not to mention being convicted of rape or murder! The league has taken a stance above the legal system even if the person has not been found guilty and........THEY ADVERTISE IT!

The reason some foolish fans are critical of the league is because they do not believe these incidents occurred in the past and do not acknowledge the Hollywood Henderson's or Lawrence Taylor's of yesterday! It's not like crime just started today and it's not like pro athletes have always been outstanding citizens!

I remember when this all started and the media was all over Elway flaunting another woman while he was in the middle of a divorce and drinking beer (like Favre) when that had absolutely no business being in the public eye but yet it sold papers to the drama queens just as this is today! Do you really believe that this is doing any good to the young boys looking up to these players knowing that they are amongst the best? Yet, papers like the DP have to publish otherwise they criticized for not doing so!!!!

Too many hypocrites and not enough football!!!!

I stopped reading after the second paragraph because you're just blathering.

When multiple things happen like Dui's, failed drug tests, and general other embarrassments, its a sign that there is not enough discipline in the organization.

Elway comes off with a "boys will be boys" attitude, which doesn't produce winning organizations. The Raiders under All Davis were the same way, same with Cincinnati when Lewis was running the show. Like teenagers, when players think there are no consequences, they're likely to make bad decisions. Think this stuff would be "no big deal" for the New York Giants? Heads would roll and punishments would be severe. Elway needs to warm the rest of this team that serious punishment will follow rules violations and organizational embarrassments.

I am just about to give up on the Broncos. Team executives, rich boys claiming innocence when facing a SECOND VIOLATION PENALTY. Grow up and act like decent men, you freakin' idiots. Just because you get paid an obscene amount of money and children and adults idolize you does NOT mean you can do whatever you want. It means the opposite, you need to act responsibly because people pay attention to what you do. Get over yourselves.

The article said he tested positive for amphetamines and MJ his rookie season. Which landed him on the test list. And since must of tested positive at least 3 times to get a suspension. No matter what the drug is they identified to suspend him, if it is banned by the NFL he should be smart enough to not have consumed it.

Colorado_Bruin wrote:What "substance" did he "abuse"? If it was HGH then he should be suspended for the season. But if it was marijuana then this is a pathetic and shameful sentence. Get out of peoples private lives. If it has absolutely no impact on the NFL, then the NFL has no business regulating it.

Ok, I can't take your idiocy any longer. You just joined Faceplant, Wiz-dumb and Eurotrash in ignore land.

I find the timing of this interesting. I'd like to kown when the FO learned of his failed test results. There's a disturbing trend growing with this current regime that reminds me of shanny's shanenigan days.

Seems like when John is on the golf course the do not disturb sign is out. You can't tell me he didn't know this was coming down far sooner than today. And why did it take him so long to address his in house drunks?

Shame on miller for sure... but don't forget to save some shame for his boss.
